Paleontology
Paleontology is the study of life that existed prior to, and sometimes including, the start of the Holocene Epoch roughly 11,700 years ago. It encompasses the examination of plant and animal fossils, including those of microscopic organisms, to determine their structure, distribution, and evolutionary history. This field is integral to understanding Earth's biological past, providing insights into ancient ecosystems and climates, and informing current research in fields such as evolutionary biology, ecology, and geology. As part of the Environmental Science hierarchy, Paleontology contributes to our understanding of how life has adapted to environmental changes over time, while within Evolutionary Biology, it offers a historical perspective on the processes that have shaped biodiversity.
